You're very welcome.
BTW, I mispoke; the article was in the Council on Foreign Relation's quarterly publication "Foreign Affairs." It was the very first "Foreign Affairs" article I'd ever read and within ten years I became a foreign service officer. Coincidence? I think not....
The book is also quite good, an expansion of the celebrated and/or notorious article. Prof. Huntington's recent death is a loss to us all.
Cheers!
p.s. I'm loving Big Hollywood.

My nuanced take on that point is that the whole objective of much of former Pres. Bush's soft-pedaling was to prevent the clash of global/Western civilization with certain Islamic barbarians from escalating into a true clash of civilizations and cultures.
There would be considerable differences of scale between our "global" war as we've fought it thus far and a "world war" as could have resulted (and might yet).
